Quantum Photonic Time Crystals: From Temporal Boundaries to Floquet Light-Matter Interactions
Younsung Kim, Kyungmin Lee, Kun Woo Kim +1
Photonic time crystals (PTCs) are temporally periodic media whose Floquet spectra can exhibit momentum gaps, parametric amplification, and effective non-Hermitian descriptions, mak…
Sagnac-Loop-Reflector Fabry-Perot Lattices for Modular 1D Topological Photonics
Siwoo Kim, Yung Kim, Semin Choi +5
We introduce a modular silicon-photonic Fabry-Perot resonator lattice based on cascaded tunable Sagnac loop reflectors. Each SLR is controlled by a single directional-coupler cross…
Self-organized photonic time quasicrystal from a single imposed clock
Minwook Kyung, Kyungmin Lee, Yung Kim +3
A photonic time crystal usually writes a clock into a medium. Here one clock does more than program the medium: it seeds a quasiperiodic temporal order that the nonlinear medium se…
Energy Transport Velocity in Photonic Time Crystals
Kyungmin Lee, Younsung Kim, Kun Woo Kim +1
Steep or near-vertical Floquet dispersion in photonic time crystals (PTCs) is often read as fast, even apparently superluminal, transport. Here, we demonstrate that this anomaly ar…
Analogs of spontaneous emission and lasing in photonic time crystals
Kyungmin Lee, Minwook Kyung, Yung Kim +7
We report the first direct mapping of the frequency-resolved local density of states (LDOS) in a photonic time crystal (PTC) implemented as an array of time-periodically modulated…
Classical Petermann Factor as a Measure of Quantum Squeezing in Photonic Time Crystals
Younsung Kim, Kyungmin Lee, Changhun Oh +3
Photonic time crystals realize a continuum of momentum-resolved SU(1,1) parametric amplifiers. We show that a classical quantity, the Petermann factor of the effective Floquet Bogo…
